Opposition health spokesperson Stephen Wade said there had been a revolving door of departures at SA Health.

“This is the sixth key project leader of the NRAH project who has been lost in the last two years,” he said.

“We’re in the second month of the testing process for the new RAH, one of the biggest projects in Australian history, and to have another leader pass through the revolving door just adds another layer of risk to an already high-risk project.”

A number of senior SA Health leaders involved in overseeing the NRAH project have left the department in recent years, including Andew Neilsen, David Panter, Steve Moro, David Swan and Judith Carr.

In a bulletin to staff, SA Health said Mr Richards had decided to return to the United Kingdom for “family reasons” and a new job.
